Drew Brees

Bohanan Benton underwent neck-fusion surgery, his shoulder was displaced and his knees were damaged — all because of a rocket-propelled grenade.

His wife, Rebecca, goes through life with “two really fun, jacked-up knees.’’

Saturday was a good day for the Bentons and about 40 wounded warriors who played flag football at Disney World. The collaboration between the NFL and the Wounded Warrior Project was part of Pro Bowl Week.

The Pro Bowl will start at 3 p.m. Sunday at Camping World Stadium, with the broadcast on ESPN, ABC (WFTV-Ch. 9) and ESPN Deportes.
